rndc error: connection refused

[jlaverdiere]

hi ..
Im running into this problem with the newer version of bind that uses rndc as a control program for the name server. I have tried to ger dns to run but keep getting this error. here is what I have in the named.conf file.


## named.conf - configuration for bind
#
# Generated automatically by bindconf, alchemist et al.
options {
default-server localhost;
default-key "key";
};

server localhost {
key "key";
};

key "key" {
algorithm hmac-md5;
secret "gXZwhjJgXQQBcybFCfXdAWAUbHxjKjgxdghlwsgYrhnnKskLMcEgnJyVCiXh";
};

options {
directory "/var/named/";
};

/*
* Control socket - do it on localhost with rndc
*/

controls {
inet 127.0.0.1 allow { 127.0.0.1; } keys { localkey; };
};

zone "." {
type hint;
file "named.ca";
};


zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa.zone";
};
zone "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa.zone";
};


zone "localhost" {
type master;
file "localhost.zone";
};
zone "Rivendell.com" {
type master;
file "Rivendell.com.zone";
};

Am I missing anything??? I have restarted named and xinetd but when I do a named stop it ggives me a "failed" message. Nothing unusual happens when i do a named start though

when I do a named status it comes back with a " hanged or connection refused" message. RNDC is running and everything else is looking good. I know this is new stuff and tedious but if someone is up to the challenge I could sure use the help

Thanks in advance for all your help
